Energy production and consumption in the Yemen Arab Republic
The energy sector reflects the major changes in the socio-economic structure and massive private and government investments that have given North Yemen a 6% real growth rate since 1970. The author surveys the energy sector over the past decade, and uses an earlier energy balance to forecast to the end of this decade. The survey, which focuses on consumption and supply, considers various potential sources of energy, including renewable forms and discusses new developments in oil exploration and refining capacity. The most significant development is not the dramatic rise in energy consumption, but in the discovery and exploitation of oil which allowed the Yemen Arab Republic to join the league of oil-producing nations. 1 figure, 2 tables.
